ATCA Hardware platform (1/2)
Nokia Siemens Networks ATCA HW platform is based on the

Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture
(AdvancedTCA or ATCA) specifications
The configuration consists of ATCA blades, advanced

mezzanine cards (AMC) and rear transmission modules (RTM)
housed within an ATCA shelf.
It is possible to install three ATCA shelves into one cabinet.
ATCA hardware building blocks

The ATCA hardware architecture allows network elements to be created from
a set of basic hardware building blocks.
- Cabinet: provides enclosure for up to three shelves
- PDU:
power feed from site power feed to shelf-level power modules
- Shelf:
provides enclosure, cooling, power and HW management

to blades and RTMs
- Blades: (front boards): blades plug into the front side of the shelf.
- RTMs:
(rear boards): rear transition modules plug into the backside

of the shelf. RTMs are extension modules
for blades.
- AMCs:
advanced mezzanine cards plug into the AMC bay of a blade.
All field replaceable units (FRUs) are hot-swappable, meaning that

they86can be removed TM51155EN04GLA2
and replaced without shutting down
the entire
unit.

Power feed system (1/2)

Shelf power feed concept
Power distribution units (PDUs)
- There are two power distribution units

(PDUs) for each shelf, located between the
shelf and the cabinet frame on the rear side
of the cabinet.
Shelf power feed concept
- Each PDU has two -48/-60 VDC inputs for the

site power feed (protected by 60 A circuit
breakers), and four -48/-60 VDC outputs to
the power entry module (protected by 30 A
fuses). The PDU provides protection
against surges and transients in the battery
feed cables.
Power entry modules (PEMs)
- There are two power entry modules (PEMs)

for each shelf, located on the lower rear
side of the shelf. Each PEM provides power
terminals for four (25 A) power feeds from
its dedicated PDU in the shelf. Each power
feed from the PDU to the PEM consists of
one physical cable, which includes a -48/60 VDC
conductor and its return
conductor.
- PEMs provide -48/-60 VDC via backplane to
the blades, fan modules and shelf
managers. AMCs and RTMs receive their
power via the blade to which they are
connected to.

Power distribution to units
- Blades, fan modules and shelf

managers receive their power
from the PEMs via the shelf
backplane. AMCs and RTMs
receive their power via the
blade to which they are
connected to.
- Shelf managers generate a 3.3 V
auxiliary supply voltage to the
PEMs, fan modules, shelf
alarm panel, shelf alarm
display and shelf data
modules.
- Each PEM consists of four
power segments (feeds) that
share common management,
control and supervision
functions.
- The backplane powerfeeds are
divided into four segments.

CPU Blade
ACPI2-A
The ACPI2-A ATCA CPU Blade SAS is a central processing unit (CPU) in the AdvancedTCA
system. The ACPI2-A is a single-width blade that can be equipped to any node slot in the
ATCA shelf.
The ACPI2-A supports:
- Dual 1000Base-T Ethernet for the base interface
- Dual 1000Base-BX Ethernet for the fabric interface
- Serial attached SCSI (SAS), connected to the AMCs and RTMs
- Additional interfaces such as USB, serial ports, dual IPMB
- Dual 1000Base-BX from the backplane fabric interface to the AMC bays
- Linux and DMX operating systems
ACPI2-A
92
TM51155EN04GLA2
Ethernet interface
ETHAM-A Ethernet AMC
External interfaces to Ethernet networks in Flexi NS are based on

ETHAM-A Ethernet AMC. This means that Ethernet interfaces are
connected directly from the computer units without any integrated
switches.
It can be used both for user plane (such as up/downlink data) and
control traffic (such as O&M).
ETHAM-A is installed into the AMC bay of a ACPI2-A CPU blade, with
all packet processing relayed to the CPU blade.
ETHAM-A does not rely on any processor of its own. It has four RJ-45
connectors and can function in 10 Mbit/s (10Base-T), 100 Mbit/s
(100Base-TX) or 1 Gbit/s (1000Base-T) mode.
ETHAM-A Ethernet AMC does not contain any software related to

network interfaces as it is part of the operating system that runs on the
CPU blade.

TM51155EN04GLA2
Hard Disk drive
Hard disk drive carrier AMC (HDSAM-A)
The hard disk drive carrier AMC (HDSAM-A) is a mid-size AMC
providing serial attached SCSI (SAS) storage in the AdvancedTCA

(ATCA) system. The AMC complies with AdvancedTCA and
AdvancedMC specifications of the PICMG.
The HDSAM-A is equipped in the AMC bays on the CPU blade.
The HDSAM-A is equipped with a 2.5-inch small form factor serial
attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk drive.
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) protocol is used as a storage solution.

SAS uses serial communication instead of the parallel method found
in traditional SCSI devices but still uses SCSI commands for
interacting with SAS devices. The maximum data transmission
capacity
through this interface is 3 Gbit/s. In this solution
the hard disks are simply implemented as AMCs which can be
shared by two CPU blades using SAS cabling through RTMs.

AHUB2-A
AHUB2-A Hub Blade implements the LAN switching functionality for both
Base Interface (BI) and Fabric Interface (FI). AHUB2-A is used to connect
computer units inside a single shelf together. It is always duplicated within
the shelf. It is located in the shelfs physical slots 8 and 9.
The hub blade provides connections for two types of internal networks:
- Base interface (BI) switch for the network elements internal traffic
(for communication between computer units inside a single shelf)
- Fabric interface (FI) switch for communicating with the outside world
as well as for the network elements internal user data communication
(for example, user data transmitted through AMC modules).
96
TM51155EN04GLA2
AHUB2-A
Rear transition module (RTM)

Rear transition module ARTM2-A for CPU blade
The ARTM2-A ATCA CPU Blade RTM provides additional connectivity for the
CPU
blades in the AdvancedTCA system. The ARTM2-A is a singlewidth rear transition

module (RTM) which can be equipped into any node blade RTM slot where the
CPU blade is located. It is accompanied by the ACPI2-A and controlled by the unit
computer of the ACPI2-A (it can not be used without ACPI2-A). In Flexi NS it
implements redundant SAS HDD and switchover connections of 2N units (OMU
and MCHU). In other units ACPI2-A operates without ARTM2-A.
The ARTM2-A can be used for:
- SAS disk cross-sharing: redundant CPU blades can access each other's hard disks
- wired alarms
- providing a serial port connection for the blade

Interconnection of blade, RTM, AMC and backplane

Interconnection of blade, RTM, AMC and
backplane
The hardware implementation of functional units in

ATCA HW Platform is based on blades, RTMs and
AMCs. Their interconnection is presented in the figure.
The blade is connected directly to the backplane and

the RTM Zone 1 connectors are used for power
connection, testing and hardware management. Zone
2 is reserved for the data transport through fabric and
base interfaces. Zone 3 provides I/O interconnection
between blade and RTM.
